Designer's Project - Roxanne

Today, Roxanne shares a fun fall card that she recently created. This card’s base is made from a downloadable library pocket. A cute tag fits inside the pocket and easily pulls out to display the sentiment.

Here is the card:

Here are the supplies and instructions:

Owl be missing you
by Roxanne Jegodtka, Edmonton, AB
supplies: cardstock, Prism;   patterned paper, Fancy Pants;   stamps, Cornish Heritage Farms;   ink, Close to my Heart;   markers, Marvy Uchida, Zig;   ribbon, Michael’s;   other, staple

1)  Download and save library pocket template from Mirkwood Designs - http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/library.htm.  I resized my template so that it was 9 3/8" tall; which leaves the front side of the pocket approximately 4" x 4". Print it out, then trace around template onto orange cardstock and cut out. Fold edges along dotted lines and adhere pocket together.

2)  Trim striped paper 1/2" high by 9" long and adhere around bottom of pocket.Trim circle patterned paper to 3 1/4" high by 9" long and attach on top of striped paper, leaving about 1/4" of the stripe showing. 

3)  Trim green square 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" and tear around it leaving a square of approximately 2 3/4" x 2 3/4". Attach to front of pocket.

4)  Using brown ink, stamp the owl, branch, and saying onto white cardstock and then trim per example. Attach branch to front of pocket with adhesive and owl on top of it using foam squares to give it dimension. I used markers to colour the eyelids, beak, and claws.

5)  For the insert, trim a 3 3/4" x 5" rectangle out of the blue patterned paper. Round the top two corners with a corner rounder. Attach the stamped saying and trim the sides. Staple brown ribbon to the upper left side. Insert into pocket and you are finished!!!
